Brahmin Capitalism, Noam Maggor’s history of the Gilded Age explores how the moneyed elite in Boston―the quintessential East Coast establishment―leveraged their wealth to forge transcontinental networks of commodities, labor, and transportation. With the decline of cotton-based textile manufacturing in New England and the abolition of slavery, these gentleman bankers traveled far and wide in search of new business opportunities and found them in the mines, railroads, and industries of the Great West.
Mr. Maggor is currently a Postdoctoral Associate and visiting lecturer in the department of history at Cornell University. He was previously a Charles Warren Center Fellow at Harvard University, Thomas Arthur Arnold Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Historical Studies at Tel Aviv University and a Senior Lecturer in the Department of History at Vanderbilt University.

“Five clams, 10 clams, do I hear 20?”
For one day only, you can bid on your seafood dinner!
That’s right. Nodding to Good Friday — when Italians traditionally eat seafood instead of meat — Eataly is holding their second bustling fish auction right in the heart of their market on Thursday, April 13, from 4-4:45 p.m.!
Bring your A game because they’re going to be auctioning off the highest quality seafood at incredible prices, starting at wholesale value. Before beginning the bidding process, their energetic auctioneer will describe each fish, from the dock to the auction block. Judging by the season (yes, fish is seasonal, too), they will be offering a variety of species, from cod to baby octopus to snapper.
Early on April 13, they will receive the morning’s delivery of fresh seafood from John Nagle Co., a Boston-based distributor that has been bringing quality seafood to New England since 1887. The family-run company continues to be committed to their century-old traditions and values within the seafood industry, working with small-scale fisheries that follow sustainable and traditional practices considering the long-term vitality of the species and the oceans.
So, when you bring home your winnings, you will be supporting a better environment — for the fishermen, your dinner, and beyond.
Let the bidding begin! No need to register for the fish auction; standing room and paddles are first come, first served.
